Aging establishment rocker and Democratic Party activist Bruce Springsteen agreed with former President Barack Obama’s characterization of Springsteen’s fans as racists who would have called iconic E Street Band saxophone player the late Clarence Clemons the “n-word” offstage even after cheering him onstage in concert.

Springsteen and Obama made the comments attacking Springsteen fans in a taped interview with CBS Sunday Morning that aired last Sunday to promote their new book, Renegades: Born in the USA, which is based on a series of podcasts the two did together earlier this year.

Interviewer Anthony Mason: “You say in the podcast and the book that in many ways it was the most important story you ever told is you and Clarence on the stage together.”

Springsteen: “Well, It was not intellectual. It was emotional. It was the language of the heart. But it was incredibly visual, you know. And for a long period of time, you know, that was a story we told on stage, you know, which was, like I say, it was more valuable than the stories I wrote in my music, you know.”

Obama: “In an ideal world what Bruce and Clarence portrayed on stage was essentially a reconciliation, right? Redemption.”

Springsteen: “That’s right.”

Obama: “But most of your audiences were primarily white. And they can love Clarence when he’s onstage, but if they ran into him in a bar, suddenly…”

Springsteen: “Oh yeah.”

Obama: “… the n-word comes out.”

Springsteen, nodding in agreement: “Yeah.”

Obama: “And part of Bruce’s music and part of my politics has been, “no, no you gotta surface that stuff, you gotta talk about it.” Sunlight is the disinfectant. (BS: “Yeah.”) And if you talk about it then you can reconcile in a true way. Not in a phony way, but in a real way.”

While Springsteen throwing his fans under the bus as racists has not been widely reported yet, some fans who did see the interview were outraged.

“Hey @springsteen I’ve been a fan of yours for a long time. I can assure you that if I saw Clarence at a bar or anywhere else I would not call him the N word. Would it kill you to stand up for your fans who have lined your pockets for decades when Obama calls us all racists?”
